Hi friend, a question: are you electronic engineers???

[burnkit2600]

@bountykiller91 We are self-taught, and still learning every day! Circuit bending is a great way to get started.

[burnkit2600]

@traumaduo Thanks! We mostly do custom one-offs like this one, but we're looking into offering kits and finished pieces in our online store soon.
